Christ told us to evangelise

Published: 17 December 2007

Although this week's Doctrinal Note on some Aspects of Evangelisation
from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith claims that many
people believe that to evangelise is to limit the freedom of others,
this is, as Gerald O’Collins has noted, rather doubtful. Rather than an
imposition on other people, or an intolerance of other beliefs, the Note argues that every person has a right to hear the Gospel, just as they have a right to hear the truth on any topic. - Martin Teulan, National Director, Catholic Mission
